I have been reading alot, and I mean ALOT, about color, and yet I still haven't quite figured it out. I looked at an EightStar I color diamond today, and it looked great. I did not at all look any more yellow than "A Cut Above" that was an E color. However, at the same time it was very difficult to notice a difference in Brilliance, Fire, and Scint. So my question is..... Can a lower color grade (E compared to I), even if it doesn't look any more "yellow", affect the appearance of brilliance, fire, and scint? What is everyone's opinion on where the human eye stops noticing the difference in color grades? |

BreenCP, it is know fact that color is less visible in the well-cut stone. Diamond is positioned pavilion up in order to grade the color. When the well-cut stone is viewed table up, it returns a lot of white and color light so it's difficult to see the color difference. I also think that you would have the same effect with two E and I A Cut Above diamonds. [This message has been edited by leonid (edited 03-11-2001).] |

The CEO of EightStar diamond company wears a K color EightStar that I'm told is amazing. [This message has been edited by lawmax (edited 03-19-2001).] |
